Though renowned by 19th century US generals for their tactical prowess and tenacity in battle, few people are now aware that the Apache had already established a fearsome military reputation after their successful 17th-century attacks on the Spanish settlements of Sonora.
Translation and Meaning:
Though the US generals renowned sth (apache) in the 19th century for sth, only a few people are aware that the apache had already established sth in the 17th century itself.
Error analysis:
The sentence has a modifier error, "apache" and not "few people" were renowned by the 19th century US generals.
POE:
A, B and C are out for the reasons discussed above.
D vs E Meaning Issue ("earlier established" vs "already established" and omission of the idea that a few people are realizing this only now)
"Earlier established" in option D, distorts the original meaning of the sentence - this means that the Apache had "earlier" established a fearsome reputation, but they did not have a fearsome reputation when they were recognized by the 19th century US generals.
E tells us that the apache had already established their reputation in the 17th-century battle though it was later renowned by the 19th-century US generals. this fact is realized by a few only now.
Mairah can you please expound why you have written this (D) the Apache had earlier established themselves
themselves as(as is need here)?
Wouldn't that only cause further distortion in meaning? I don't think it is logically sound to use another as.
Kudos to you.
